Thrilling Reads Review
I’ve enjoyed discovering Dan Padavona’s books this year. Don’t Breathe is the third I’ve read in his creepy Darkwater Cover series featuring FBI profiler Darcy Gellar. This is the sixth book in that series.
Padavona keeps you turning page in a race against the clock story to save a woman from becoming another victim from a serial killer.
Victim’s are showing up dead with venomous spider bites which causes most officials to see these cases as tragic accidents not serial murder.
Kudos to Mr. Padavona for coming with a unique premise on how the victim’s are killed. He delivers characters you’ll come to care for during the run of the series.
The book has short, creepy chapters keeping the story moving along to its climatic conclusion. Warning if you spiders give you the heebie-jeebies your skin will crawl, but in a good way.
